I’m Usa-chan, the “wheelchair x beauty” funny x model! In DisabilityLog, as a SNS influencer, I hope to provide lots of useful information for people with disabilities. I will also enjoy providing information about beauty, travel, sightseeing, music, photography, and other hobbies.
I also ride an electric wheelchair, and I was wondering which electric wheelchair to choose when purchasing a new wheelchair in the future, “Mr. YAMAHA’s series” or “Mr. WHILL’s series”. So I thought I would put together a list of “WHILL” power wheelchairs.
In this issue, we would like to introduce WHILL, the newest model of electric wheelchair that you have been wanting to know about.
In this issue, I summarized the “driving range” and “battery charging time” of WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2, something that wheelchair users are always concerned about.
In the previous article, we introduced the WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2, the two mainstream models, and their respective “driving range” and battery charge times.
In addition, since the two mainstream models “WHILL Model F” and “WHILL Model C2” have become mainstream, we introduced their respective features and arm covers.
What is a WHILL power wheelchair?
WHILL is one of the brands of electric wheelchairs.WHILL electric wheelchairs are smart electric wheelchairs that incorporate advanced technology.
The latest model allows the wheelchair to be folded, making it convenient and less bulky to carry when traveling.
They can also be operated in various ways via a smartphone app.
The following two are the most popular types of WHILL power wheelchairs to purchase.

What is the difference between WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2?
The WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2 are both high-performance power wheelchairs, but there are some differences.
I thought you might be interested in the main differences between WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2.
Mobility
WHILL Model F has four omni wheels, making it excellent for indoor and outdoor mobility. WHILL Model C2, on the other hand, has four omni wheels as well as suspension on the front and rear wheels, allowing for finer maneuverability and smooth movement in tight spaces and around bends.
Smartphone App
The WHILL Model F allows users to configure and adjust their wheelchair using a smartphone app. WHILL Model C2, on the other hand, has a more advanced smartphone app that allows for more customization.
Wheelchair Size
The WHILL Model F is more compact and lightweight, making it ideal when storage space for a wheelchair is limited. The WHILL Model C2, on the other hand, is larger and can be used for longer periods of time.
Appearance
WHILL Model F features a slim and stylish design, giving it a modern look. WHILL Model C2, on the other hand, has a more sophisticated design and is available in a variety of arm cover colors.
Price
The WHILL Model F is the most cost-effective of all WHILL wheelchairs and is available at a relatively affordable price. The WHILL Model C2, on the other hand, is more expensive.
The older type (WHILL Model C2) is more expensive, probably because it can overcome a 5cm step and many of them are compatible with various smartphone apps.
These are the main differences between WHILL Model F and WHILL Model C2. Both models offer excellent performance and can be selected to suit individual needs.

Some power wheelchairs can be optionally accessorized. Here are some of the accessories available for the WHILL Model F.

Let’s discuss what you think a wheelchair user needs.
I would need a basket, drink holder, and pelvic belt!
If you need a cane, you also need a cane holder. A battery (spare) is also needed.
I think batteries (spare) are necessary. When I travel long distances, I have to worry about the battery capacity if I use a power wheelchair. I would also like to have a battery charger at home.

Which one is better suited for you?
If you want high performance even if the price is high, or if you prefer a wide variety of arm cover colors, choose the WHILL Model C2; if you are concerned about folding the wheelchair or battery charging time, choose the WHILL Model F.
